Mollywop?

Yeah, it was worse than that maybe.

Which actually he was grabbing at that hamstring pretty early in the second quarter.

They pretty much have home court in the first round locked up.

They don't have the three seed locked up.

They have a one-game lead on Denver right now.

But they're remaining... Their only hard game that they have left is against the Suns.

And they've got the Jazz, the Mavericks and the Warriors.

Right.

So I do think they've got an easy path to stay in front of the Nuggets.

The Nuggets have the Spurs coming up on Saturday.

Right.

Like the Nuggets actually have the hardest strength of schedule remaining.

So they're going to have an uphill climb.

But I actually personally think that they not only do the Lakers need to be the three seed.

just to avoid, you know, OKC in the first round for reasons we saw last night.

Yeah.

But they also, they need the Rockets to be six to have any chance, in my opinion, of coming out of the first round.

I agree with that.

Because I think Minnesota dices them up too, right?
